“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven” (James 5:14–15). This promise remains true today. The power to heal comes from Christ alone. We seek His healing and wholeness first and foremost to glorify Him.

This month, John shares part two of his message from Vietnam. He notes the oneness in the Body of Christ across cultures and joyfully repents of his “American superiority” after observing the gospel flourishing in this communist-ruled nation.

Be sure to watch Acts 1:8 Part 2 and Acts 1:8 Part 3 of John's teaching.
